Terms & Conditions

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE

While every effort is made to deliver and fit to the customer’s satisfaction, delivery promises are approximate only, and failure to deliver on the stated date or at a specified time shall not render us liable for damages, lost time, or any other consequential loss.

CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITY

It is the customer’s responsibility to notify the fitter in writing of the location of any pipes or cables, which  might be damaged during the fitting. No responsibility can be accepted for damage to under floor pipes or cables or for consequential damage to property or fittings. When a customer places a conclusive order for carpets or flooring based on the customer’s own  measurements and does not require an estimation by the company, the customer accepts full liability for the accuracy of the dimensions stipulated.

COLOUR MATCHING

Flooring samples should only be used as a guide to colour matching. Colour reproduction may vary across batches of carpet. Carpets are matched back to the master sample to ensure that colour remains  within a commercial tolerance. Carpets varying in width (4m and 5m) may vary in colour as they may be from different batches. Carpets that are identical but laid with the pile travelling in different directions may  appear not to match. Wood products are an organic material and are subject to natural variance. You should  note that when a subfloor is not completely flat, this may result in a bounce effect in wooden flooring and  the Company will not be held responsible for this. The company will always endeavour to offer the customer  the most accurate advice possible about preparing the surface before we begin any specific job. All fabrics  especially carpets are liable to pile shading differences, light and dark areas arising from unequal surface  pressure. This is no way detrimental to the durability of the carpet and is not a fault in manufacture. 

COSTINGS

The total price for jobs includes VAT at the current rate unless otherwise specified. 

The legal and equitable title to the goods supplied under any contract will not pass to the purchaser until the  price for the goods and all other sums due from the purchaser has been paid in full and until such payments  the purchaser will keep the goods in a fiduciary capacity as bailee for the company. Should any time be wasted by our fitters or employees due to not being able to gain access to the site or  deliver or install carpets/floor covering, or the site not being ready to receive fitting, this will result in a  charge being made to the customer to recover the losses to the company.

SUPPLY ONLY ORDERS

For customers ordering goods on a supply only basis we have a strict no returns policy. Payment is required  in full at the time of the order and it is the customers responsibility to check their order requirements prior to  placing their order. When calculating product quantities an allowance is made for wastage which is an  essential requirement of floor fitting. All products are ordered specifically for each customer and any  leftover product is to be retained by the customer and can’t be returned for a refund. From the time flooring  is fitted it is the customers responsibility to care for and maintain the flooring according to the  manufacturer’s guidelines. If customers require any assistance in locating these guidelines, then please speak  to us.

However, the Company shall retain ownership of  the products until payment has been received in full. Cancellation The goods are bespoke and made to  measure to your requirements. As such they fall into the category of tailor-made products within the  Consumer Contracts Regulations and hence you will not be able to cancel once your order is placed. This  will not affect your legal rights as a consumer in relation to made to measure goods that are faulty or not as  described. Notwithstanding this the Company will accept cancellation of orders provided goods have not  been irrevocably ordered from our suppliers. Where stock is held for us by our suppliers, but not dispatched,  we will normally be able to accept a cancellation and provide a full refund. 

ON SITE SURVEY

The Company strongly recommends its estimators undertake a site visit before the Customer places an order.  This is to establish the correct room dimensions and whether any floor preparation is needed before  confirming a contract price. If no such survey is undertaken or permitted by the Customer, the Company will  not be held responsible for shortages or subsequent additional costs that may arise during installation. This  also applies where doors need to be trimmed to accommodate the flooring. Door trims can only be carried  out on internal doors that are solid wood. The following doors cannot be trimmed, fire doors, sliding doors,  hollow doors or doors containing glass panels. All such services are chargeable. Scratch resistant does not  mean scratch proof and should not be considered as such. The contract may not be assigned by the Customer  without the Companies prior written consent.
